7.4 Door Seal Alignment and Adjustment
NOTICE TO INSTALLER AND HOMEOWNER: Achieving a proper seal
and door alignment is a trial and error adjustment. You may need
to make additional minor adjustments after the first few initial burn
periods. Deposits which collect on the glass corner(s) while fireplace
is in operation indicates an improper seal, indicating door should be
adjusted as instructed below.
Every effort has been made at the factory to ensure a proper door
seal prior to shipment. Misalignment, however, may still occur during
shipment, installation, or mishandling.
The following procedures will help you determine if the door is
sealing properly, and how to achieve a proper seal.
7.4.1 Check the Door Seal
1. Close and latch door.
2. Check seal by pushing against corners of glass.
•
No movement indicates proper seal.
•
Any movement between the glass and firebox face at any
corner indicates an inadequate seal. This will create creosote
build-up on glass and cause the fire to burn faster.
Use the illustration below as a guide for the parts used for adjustment
procedures.
Adjustment procedures are on the following page.
